To each his own, but I think the suggestion here -
http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...et-better.html - which would enable gamers to go full-historical, would go a long way to making historical minors more fun
As it is right now, the only things historical about historical minors is that the
structure is historically accurate (to the degree that affiliated leagues & teams are included), and some historical minors players are included. So you can have the structure of historical, but a) can only use that structure in a very limited setup, b) cannot use that structure with fictionals, and c) cannot have historical player movement.
Additional options & functionality, like - for example - the ability to access all of those players who may have spent the bulk of their careers in/with independent leagues/teams, the ability to add teams & leagues to the csv files without having to somehow come up with league & team calculations with definitions that are nebulous at best - that would be awesome. Much more fun!!
That said, historical minors in OOTP is in its infancy. I recall several versions ago that forum chatter about shortcomings in historical
majors, workarounds, suggestions, etc., was quite common. Now, OOTP is so far advanced in this area that most posts in the historical sub-forum are dynasty-oriented. There simply isn't much to complain about anymore!
So I'm sure historical minors in OOTP will get there.
